Welcome back to the Zen(ish) Mommy Podcast! During today’s mini-episode, we’re diving into the question of what mindfulness really is. Join us as we explore how to combat the mind’s tendency to keep us stuck in either the past or the future through mindfulness. We start by discussing the benefits of mindfulness found by mindfulnessschools.org, which include decreased stress, increased attention, improved interpersonal relationships, and more! Next, your host, the Zen Mommy, walks listeners through a simple introductory mindfulness technique, making sure to check in with the results in the body before, and after. Join us each week for a new exercise to add to your mindfulness toolkit.
